Jobbeschreibung

For our customer located in Basel/Switzerland we are currently looking for a: Scientist – Biology(m/f/d)

• Location: CH-Basel onsite (Remote cannot exceed one day per week after alignment with manager)
• Duration: 01.11.2026 – 30.04.2028 (18-month contract + possible extension up to 3 years.)

Background:

Single-cell and spatial omics technologies are transforming biomedical research by enabling deep characterization of complex biological systems at unprecedented resolution. These approaches provide unique insights into cellular heterogeneity, rare cell populations, disease mechanisms, and treatment responses across a wide range of preclinical and translational research applications.

Single-cell profiling plays a critical role in the development and validation of advanced experimental models, helping ensure that research systems are well characterized and biologically relevant. In addition, large-scale single-cell datasets are increasingly used to support data-driven discovery approaches, including the development of computational and artificial intelligence models for biological interpretation and target identification.

Complementing these capabilities, spatial transcriptomics enables the analysis of gene expression within intact tissue architecture, providing essential context on cellular organization, cell-cell interactions, and tissue responses. Together, single-cell and spatial technologies bridge discovery and translational research by linking molecular insights to biological function across diverse model systems and human samples.

We are seeking scientists who are passionate about applying cutting-edge omics technologies, leveraging large-scale datasets, and working at the interface of experimental biology, data science, and translational research to accelerate scientific innovation and therapeutic discovery.

Tasks & Responsibilities

• Develop, evaluate, and implement innovative NGS methods and protocols, with emphasis on single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial multimodal applications or multi-omics applications to enhance platform capabilities and provide comprehensive insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets
